PHIL LIT PARAGON

An Annual Poetry Anthology.

We’re excited to introduce the PHIL LIT PARAGON, Annual Poetry Anthology, published by PHIL LIT Books, released every August.

---

Each anthology brings together new work from the Winter and Summer Contest Winners and Finalists, along with staff contributions. It also includes a curated section featuring our Reader’s Choice Poems and selected work from shortlisted and nominated pieces. The PHIL LIT PARAGON gathers all these poems into a single collection, honoring award-winning work and offering a capsule of the writing that helped shape PHIL LIT across our Fall–Summer editorial year. We hope it’s a joy to contributors and readers alike.

All sales support PHIL LIT’s broader nonprofit mission. Preorders are open through June 1st with discounted pricing; and as a reminder, the anthology is included in all patron memberships.

PHIL LIT is a nonprofit and 501c3 public charity, home to a PHIL LIT journal and PHIL LIT Books.

The PHIL in PHIL LIT stands for both philosophy and philanthropy. Our guiding philosophy is human-loving. Our mission is to publish literature that uplifts the human spirit; while remaining honest about the realities we face and resisting scarcity mindsets or fear-driven narratives that so often define our era. We cherish work that engages with philosophical, metaphysical, ethical, and existential themes without sacrificing beauty, craft, surprise, or risk.
